WELCOME TO TANZANIA.
Tanzania covers 937,062 sq. km (580,978 sq. miles) making it the largest country in Eastern Africa. Just south of the equator, it borders Kenya and Uganda in the north; Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi and Mozambique in the south.
Through the interior runs the Great Rift Valley, the vast fault-line down the spine of Africa that, in Tanzania, has created many fascinating topographical features such as the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Tanganyika. The central plateau (3936 ft. above sea level) is a huge expanse of savannah and sparse woodland. To the north, the 5,890m (19,344ft) Mt Kilimanjaro rises, Africa's highest mountain.
While the interior is largely arid, the 800-kilometer (500 mile) coastline is lush and palm-fringed as are the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia.
The best time to visit Tanzania is during the dry season, especially just after the rains have finished and the vegetation is lush and green. East Africa has two rainy seasons, the long rains which normally start at the end of March and last until June, and the short rains which normally occur in October and November. The rainy seasons are the months when rain can be expected as opposed to the dry seasons where it will be unlikely, but it does not mean that it rains all the time. Naturally conditions on the mountains can become very slippery in the rains and snow can become a problem on some of the routes to the summit. Dry season months of June to September and December to February can usually be counted as the best months for trekking.

Tourist Sites in Tanzania include game parks and game reserves
